Nikka Coffey Gin

Nikka Coffey Gin is a distinctive Japanese gin produced by Nikka Whisky, utilizing their Coffey stills, which are traditionally used for whisky production. This gin features a unique blend of 11 botanicals, balancing traditional gin elements with Japanese citrus and spices.

Botanicals:

• Yuzu
• Kabosu
• Amanatsu
• Shequasar
• Apples
• Sansho pepper

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose is characterized by a prominent citrus aroma, featuring yuzu, lemon zest, and rich orange juice. Underlying these bright notes are soft, buttery spices and the bridging presence of citrusy and spicy juniper.
• Palate: Initially sweet, the palate unfolds with layers of citrus fruit, peel, and pith, creating an almost tropical fruit salad-like exoticness. This is grounded by soft spice, earthy juniper, and a touch of tongue-tingling sansho pepper.
• Finish: The finish is led by spice and citrus peel, which gradually fade to leave a sweet and sour citrus zest. It’s described as intensely citrusy with a distinctively exotic twist, feeling lighter than its ABV suggests and finishing fresh with a grounding touch of spice.

Awards:

Nikka Coffey Gin has received recognition for its quality and unique character, including:

• Gold Medal at the World Gin Awards in 2019.
